The question as to the alteration of tho plans of tho Greene avenue tunnel sewer by locating the shafts on side streets instead of on the avenue, in order that railroad travel may not be interrupted, has not yel been settled. The City railroad people Bay that if the shafts are to be sunk in the carriageway of Greene avenue they will not be able to operate their cars, and consequently very many people will be inconvenienced and the company will be subjected to great pecuniary loss. There is no trouble about altering the plans in accordance with tho company's suggestion, but there is trouble about determining as to who shall pay the increased cost of tho work, if such alterations are made. Commissioner Adams has requested the chief ongiueer of the department to ascertain tho amount of the expense which would thus be incurred. When he Bhall have this information he will announce his decision in tho matter.

He has held several conferences with Mr. Lewis, the president of the railroad company, who is naturally very anxious to have the bUBinesB settled as soon as possible.

Fransioli, his sole beneficiary and executor. Lawyer Fransioli lives at 140 Willow street, this city, and has his office at 140 Broadway, Now York. Rumors having been circulated that tho aged priest had died possessed of a princely estate some of the gos sipers putting it aa high as $200,000 and that goineofhiauapbewsand nieceB would probably contest the will, an Eaole reporter called on Lawyer FraiiBioli at his New York office to day.

As far as I am aware," said Lawyer Fransioli, "my brother died possessed of nothing, and 1 am glad of it. I would not wish his old friends or parishioners to think that I or my ftuZ would profit financially by my brother's death. I havo heard of no proposed contest of my brothers will. My niece, Mrs. Florinda O'Brien, or Atlantic avenue, did ask me if Bhe could get a copy of the will from Bergen I saved her the trouble of calling thera by sending her a copy.

I do not anticipate any contention from any of my relatives. There is nothing to contend about, and even if there was I am confident my brother's wishes would be respoctod by his rela Had not Father Frausioli a valuable library "No, thero were not 200 volumes in all and among thorn are some old school books of mj own that I loft with him before I was married. These include Virgil, Tasso aud Dante, and these I will take baok, for they recall old associations, and I will take delight in reperusmg them when I can spare the time.

Arnold Fransioli, a nophow of Father Fransioli, and a subscribing witness to his will, resides at 235 Clinton street, thiB city, and is in the employ of the Manhattan railway compauy, at 71 Broadway, New York. He reiterated everything his uncle, Augustus 0. Fransioli, had said. It had never entered his mind that tho will would be contested. Tho rumors to that effect wero idle ones, born he knew not where.

There was no estate loft by Father Fransioli. He had devoted all moneys received by him (outside.oi living expenses) to the orection of institutions in hia parish and the betterment of his flock. FIVE ARRESTS Por Violation of the Election Law ia New Utrecht The Members of the Terra Board Charged With Falliec I'eit a LUt ef Kejif tered Voters At Required by the Statntt Creefced Terk Snspccted.

A pang of regret will mar Secretary Tncy'a emotions of pride and pleasure when he Beat, cm November 18. the good uhip Maine, the first or the armored cruisers of the new navy. Blip over the ways into the muddy waters of the Wall, bout It will arise from a knowledge of the fact that thou.Midn of dollar and months of time will havo to be spent to remedy a ntal defect in the construction, which han peen discovered only within a few dayB and which the department has made the greatest effort to keep profound secret. When Chief Engineer Melvillo, Naval Con Itriictor Hichunrn and Passed Assistant Engineer I'erry came on hero from Washington on Tuesday their visit was declared to have no espoeial significance, but was said to be simply in connection with routiuo business of the department. The whole party, alone with Naval Constructor Jlintouyo, went from the naval lycenm to the Bhip house, where the bis JIaine stands high and dry upon her blocks, and, passing down to the stern of the vessel, concentrated their attention npon a hole three quarters of an inch in diameter on the iusido of the port shaft strut's hancer.

A shaft strut is a heavy casting with two arms uieoliug at an angle, at the apei of vfhioh is a big aperture bored out to admit the ponderous propeller shaft. Tue ends of the arms are securely riveted to the lower side of the stern of tho ship, the purpose served by the whole arrangement being to carry the weight of the propeller shaft which extends from the body of the ship and of the screw at tho end of the shaft. It is highly important that the steel of this brace, which itself weighs several tomi, should be entirely free from flaw owing to the weizht it is required to carry and the great probability of disastrous results should it break and permit the action of tho scrow to be deranged. The little hole on the inside of the hanger, as the cylindrical aperture at tho apex of tho strut is termed, is direotly under the upper arm of the strut, which would have an enormous strain upon it with the propoller shaft and screw in place. It was made by a drill and extends a foot into the arm itself, in which the drill was driven with little or no difficulty.

This faot was enough tocon Tince the inspectors, who had been sent post haste from Washington for tho purpose, that the casting must be removed, notwithstanding the enormous expense and long delay that must attend such a change. The strut will bo accordingly duly condemned and a new one ordered. Tho discovery will not, it is said, necessitate a postponement of the launoh of tho cruiaer since it is possible to puton a new strut, although at greater expense when tho ship Is in dry dock. Naval Constructor Mintonye was not at his office this morning when a reporter callod to see him iu regard to the above matter. Several officers were interviewed, howover, and they were unanimous iu the opinion that the discovery of the defect was of the highest importance and extremely fortunate for the men who may be assigned to sail the shin.

The flaw was found by the merest chance when the inner BUiface of the hanger was being bored smooth to make it fit the propeller shaft more perfectly. Undoubtedly the flaw is due to tho presence of air which made a cavity iu tho casting whose presence, despite the most careful inspection and testing, could not have been made known. In faot, when tho casting was turned out at the Standard works, in Thurlow, the government inspectoro subjected it to the most rigid scrutiny, and it waB pronounced sound in every respect. The oxistonce of such a defect, experts say, is only the history over again of dozens of ateel oastings which to all appearances and under all known tests are perfect, but which develop like weaknesses under especial strains.

Brooklyn Hoapiial Patieut Dies Before an Operation. James F. Wall, a clerk in the surrogate's office, was admitted to the Brooklyn hospital Tuesday. Ho had been sick for a long time.

The Valiant Celonel Will Help Hh Old Keisfcber The Campaign Drnvrlne: te a Clese Comiajr Meeting Mr. Barron' ConfMcncp. Tho rumor was circulated yosterday afternoon and published in a morning paper to day that Colonel William Honry Board had announcod his intention to withdraw hia support from William C. Wallace, tho Itopublican candidate for con gross in tho Third district, and to uso his very best endoavora to further tho election of Mr. Wallace's Democratic opponent, William J.

Coombs. It was further claimed that Colonel Bead had threatened to use his influence "to throw tho weight of the whole anti Nathan faction in the district into tho scalo against tho whole Republican ticket." Claronce A. Barrow, who is perhaps mora com petent than any other man to voice Colonel Beard's santimonts when the latter i8 not around to speak for himself, was asked to day regarding theso rumors. He said: "Harry Beard is not opposing Mr. Wallace.

The reports are all wrong ou that score. Ho is en tirely in favor of Mr. Wallace's re eleotion and will voto for him and support him at tho polls. I havo talked with him and know his sentiments perfectly regarding Mr. Wallace's candidacy.

Whether he will support Mr. Kramer or not I am not preparod to say. I havo hoard him say that ho should voto for Courtney, for whom he haa a personal friendship. Whether he meant what he said or not, I don't pretond to know. 1 know he will support the rest of tho Itopublican tickot including Congressman Wallace.

Tho reason given for Colonel Board's supporting Mr. Court ney's candidacy that he is grateful to Courtney beoause it was his disoovery that the fraudulent performances at the Twentieth ward primary a year ago were not punishable, sinco the primary had boen improperly oalled, is nonsense. Judge Courtney had nothing to do with that matter. It came bofore Judgo Kenna and was decided by him." Mr. Barrow prediotod, with great poaitiveneas, the election of the following Republican candidates: James Boyd, in the Eighth assembly dis trict; Charles A.

Woller, in tho Seventh: 8amuel It. Tuomoy, in the Tenth: John Kissel, in the Ninth; Aspinall, in the Eleventh, and Watson in the Twelfth: Congressmen Wallace and Qresham, and that tho Republicans would obtain four more supervisors and a consequent control of tho board by electing the candidates from the fol lowing wards: Fourth, Sixteenth, Eighteenth, Twentieth, Twenty second, and Mr. Hughos in the Twenty fourth, Wolf ort in tho Twenty sixth, and he thought that Flatlaods would elect tho Republican candidate. Mr. Barrow added that Mr.

Kramer was making a far more vigorous oonvass than even his friends oxpecte8. Tho election of Mr. Costello would not surprise him. Republican meetings will be held to night aa follows: Federal club of the Twentieth ward. Myrtle avonuo noar Adelphl street, to ratify Mr.

Wallace's nomination; uoimonico uau, iwenvy first ward; Joun MoKenney association, Nine teentu ward; Uarnoid hall, mneteeutn waru, ior Germans; Seventeenth ward.

Gilfard Nelson and askod him if the rumor published in an arternoon paper that bo was to pre sido at a Itopublican meeting in the Twenty fifth ward is true. "It is not." waa Mr.

Nelson's reply. "I cannot imagino how tho rumor got into circulation. A weak ago a prominont politician and officeholder, for whom I have much esteem, personally, called on me and askod mo to preside at a meeting to bo held somewhere tho ward I have forgotten whore. I courteously, bnt positively, refmed to do ko, ou tho ground that I am a minister of the gospel and regard tho proachers' and politicians' vocations aB so entirely distinot that an attempt to tinito tham is to invite failure in it has also boon said in a local paper that you frill speak in Mr. Watson's behalf on Sunday night from your pulpit." The statement is made of tho same cloth as tho othor.

I would as soou think of permitting a gymnastic exhibition in my pulpit as of preaching a political Bermon or advocating the claims of any man from a partisan standpoint." The Republican workers throughout tho city, especially in the Third congressional district, arc to be supplied with ribbon badges containing the names of tho various candidates, to be worn by them in the work thoy will porform 150 foot from the polls in distributing paster ballots on election day. CONTINUING THE CENSUS. Porter's men Iflissod One Hundred and Five Names iH Ttvo Blocks. Fifty seven election districta havo been completed by tho police in thoir taking of a supplemental census, and in one district an officer of the Fourth precinct colleotod 105 names in two blocks that wero not takon by Porter's men. This waa on Washington avonue, between Flushing and Myrtle, anything but a densely populated neighborhood.

Tho same officer obtained thirty one names on Hall street, between the same avenues, that were not enumerated in tho original census. A Mrs. Sweeney, of Hall street, said that Por. ter's mau asked her these questions: Aro you Irish Can you speak Irish Were your father and mother Irish Could they speak Irish 7 Why oouldn't thoy spoak Irish Wero thoy white or black Then that very new young man waa twisted into civility by the Sweeney boyB and thrown into the gutter.

Finally he yielded, but requested that the officer take him first his brother's barbor shop in Forsyth Btreet, but the brother was out.

Ho did not want to leave his shop alone, the prisoner said to me," declared Officer it was very lueky the brother was not at homo aa tbara is no knowing what they would havo done to me."

Purroy's Interesting Information for Mr. Ivins. The CemtuisiHtr'i Hemery is at the Same Time a Source of IastruetUn and AaBoyaace to tfr.

Fassett's Cera mittoe Seme Pronal HUtery. Chairman Fassett adjusted his eyeglasses at 11:05 o'clook in superior court chambers, New York, this morning, and the senatorial investigating oommittee began to grind. Theommit teo had a sad grist indeed in the witnoBS of the day, President Purroy, of the board of firo commissioners. Senators McNaughton, Ahearn and Dean were present. Counselor IvinB woro a meok and lowly air, a polka dot necktie and a half blown rose in the lapel of his coat.

He began tho interrogation of Mr. Purroy with apparent misgiviugs. It was so very uncertain when or where the witness would break ont. Mr. Ivins took up the examination with some quoBtious about John Sneider.

a mechauio at headquarters. Mr. Purroy interrupted almost at oneo to say that he was prepared to state accurately what he was unable to do yesterday in answer to one of Mr. Ivins' questions. Tho witness was a member of the Tain many Hall general committee when appointed upon the fire commission by Mayor Grace.

He was expelled from Tammany hall November 25, 1881, because ha refused to act apamst Mayor Grace. This statement led Mr. Ivins to revert also to the questions of yeBterday regarding previous investigations of the fire department. The witness said that Mayor Hawitt had sent the commission of acconuts under Mr. Bhor man after the department when lfc (Pnrroy) arraigned himself against tho mayor for certain acts of his.

The subordinate of the commission went into tho fire department, tried to seduce his subordinates and looked everywhere for something to find fault with. But they found nothing. "And I think" added the witness, "that someone has furnished you with alleged damaging testimony which was supposed to havo been gathered at that time. But I tell you that there is nothing Mr. Ivins brought out tho fact that Chief Commissioner of Accounts Sherman was a personal friond of the witness.

Then the counsellor re vortod to tho statement about the damaging tes tlmiwould like to know about that for nobody haB furnished me with any such testimony," said Mr. Ivins. Then the witness went into a long and ciroum stautial story, of which tho gist was that tho late County Clerk Reilly had come to him one evening in the spring of 1880. Ho came on an errand for a olerk named Melville, who was iu the commission of accounts office, and had been employed on the fire department investigation. Roil ley told the witness thai Melville asBerted he had discovered important errors iu the property clerk's books.

Melville had not reported on tha errors because of tho accession of Mayor Grace at tho time and because he know that Mayor Grace waf friendly to Mr. Purroy. Melvillo sent tho suppressed report by Clerk Keilly and askod that Mr. Purroy would intercede with the mavor for Melville, allowing him to retain his clafkship. Mr.

Purroy put the report his Inside pocket and buttoned his coat. Then he Instructed Railly to tell Melville to report everything he bad discovered to whomsoever he desired. Why, I would not touch a man like that with a forty foot polo," declared Mr. Purroy, emphatically. The witness then had the matter investigated and discovered that the errors wero the result of clerical incapacity and that there had been no Iobs to the city.

Ho therefore had the clerk censured. Mr. Ivins asked the witness to give the report ot Melvillo, to have it put on tho records of tho jommittee. President Pirroy wont off on a tangent just hero. Herouurked: "It was intimated yesterday that I was not modost.

Now, when I am put upon the stand md my work is called in question I have to state ths ease as it is and depart from my usual custom." "Did I or any member of the committee say that vou were not modest asked Mr. IvinB. "I believe that such was intimated by Senator Fassett." Turning to the chairman he asked: "Didn't you say something yesterday about Chesterfield boinc a modest man 7 Oh, I remember tho.se things." Chairman Fassett admitted that he might havo made somo such innocent remark. Mr. Ivins askod tho witness' advice as to how best tho fire department could be investigated.

Mr. Purroy declared as he had not been a senator or on a committeo he was ignorant of tho best means of investigating. He thought Mr. Ivins ought to know all about it by this time. Going into tno work which ho had done in the departmont the witness aaid it was fortunate for him that he was turned out of Tammany, for it gavo him an opportunity unhampered to reform the uniformed force of the department.

"Do you mean," asked Mr. Ivins, "that membership in Tammany prevented you from doing your duty properly "I could not do it as well, Mr. Jvms. I could not even if I had been a pessimist." Laughter, followed by Chairman Fassett 's hammer rapping on the deBk.l "Yon and I were onco roformers together, Mr. Ivins," added the witness.

Iriua turned rather pale and suggested that pernonalitleB were out of place in this investigation. The witness thought tho chairman would shut him up if ho got off the question. Chairman Fassett said: "I've wanted to give you all the ropo possible." Mr. Purroy interrupting In order that I might hang myself. Chairman Fassett Well, I'm afraid you will if you keep on.

I must aBk you to confine yourself closely to answering tho questions of Mr. Ivins and avoid personalities as much as possible. Mr. Purroy said he would endeavor to do just as the committee wanted him to, but he must be allowed an explanation once in a while. The rest of the morning BeBaion waa consumed in a historical discourse by President Purroy upon the fire departmont.

Among other things he said that Foreman Ahearn, of Engine 5, waB a brother of the senator aud a most able and efficient officer, which made tho youthful senator blush profusely. JAHAICA PLAMk ROAD. Tbo Court of Appeal Decides Tbat It Can Bio Taxed. In 1887 the Jamaica and Brooklyn road company instituted an action against the city of Brooklyn to set aside tho taxes which had been levied on tho property claimed to be owned by it, and known as the Jamaica plank road, for tho years 1881 to 1886, on the ground that laid taxos were illegal. The claim of illegality was based on two First, that the plank road was by law exempt from taxation for the reason that the surplus annual receipts of tolls over necessary repairs and a suitable reserve fund for repairs and relaying of planks did not exoeed 7 per eent.

on tho first cost of said road, and second, became the road had been divided by the authorities of the city of Brooklyn into variouB lots and blocks. The action was brought to trial beforo Justice Bartlett, and judgment was entered on his decision dismissing the complaint. This was a comploto viotory for the city. On appeal to the general term that judgment was affirmed and the court of appeals on Tuesday last handed down Ub decision affirming the judgment of the general term. Tho principles involved in thh aotlon aro of great Importance, establishing tho right of tho city to tax this tract of land and denying the claim of the plaintiff that the division of Buoh land into lot and block numbers vitiated the taxes.

A number of other actions and proceedings are pending brought by the Brooklyn and Jamaica road company either against the city or against the various departments of tho city, and it is believed that this decision of the court of appeals has finally settled all points of dispute in favor of the city.

Powder Argument in the Cameron Suit Heard To day. The Whole Matter ef Eeonraniz.itioa Up Before Jud Pratt in the Supreme Conrt Joha E. Searlei, Affidavit. Beeisiea Rsrrd. The case of Duncan Cameron against tho sugar trust came up in the supreme oourt, beforo Justice Pratt, on the motion whioh was made some time ago by Camoron, who held some of tho sugar certificate It was for the appointment of a receiver in his action against tha trustoea of tho Bugar trust and also for judgmont against the companies in the suit brought by the trustees for tha purpose of winding up the doings of the trust.

Tho action was also for a distribution or the assets of tno company among the holders of its certificates. Among the prominent men who gathered to hearths argumeut this morning wero James E. Searles, Theodore Havemeyor and Henry 0. Havemeyor. On behalf of the motion John L.

Hill appeared, with John E. Parsons, Eiihu Root, Edward M. 8hepard and Mr. Johnson for the trustees. In nnenincr the nann MY.

Hill asked that he be allowed to see copies of all tho pipers in the matter and that they bo filed at once for that purpose. Tho particular document upon which he laid stresB was the notice of the contract made with the Central trust company for a plan of reorganization. The speaker held that he was legally entitled to the possession of this document and then Mr.Johusou.who apneared on behalf of Nash Spaulding of Boston, presented an affidavit by Mr. Kein, representative oi inai. unn, iu wmcn states that the firm held in its own right some tll.fiOD worth of anrAi' enrtificates.

He said, howevor, that hie firm had no dealing or connec tion with tne trust. Mr. Shepard then read the following affidavit by Secretary Searlo, which clearly sot forth the workings of the case. John E. Searles, being duly sworn, depotes and says: I am a plaintiff in the first and a de fendant in tha second of the above entitled ao t.lnnfl! havA bpAn member nf the sugar refin eries company board of trustees from tho beginning, and during all the time have held the pomviun ui secretary ana treasurer; i.

aavo the motion papers on the Cameron motion for an injunction, so far as those papers allege, suggest or imply, first, that the trustees hare, either in paBBing a dividend in October, 1890, or in any other way, used their position for their personal interest against the interest of certificate holders; second, delayed the prosecution of their suit; third, delayed tho winding up of their trust: lourtn, adopted any course ior me purposo of obtaining oontrol or certincates, either that alleged or any other; fifth, any other wrongful or improper conduct on tne pare oi mo trustees, the charge bo far as I am personally concerned, so far as I know or bo far as I have any information or belief with referenco to any other defendants, iu wholly and absolutely without foundation. From the time that it waB claimed that the deed of the sugar refineries company was either as a whole, or so far as concerned any part, in violation of law, the trustees have had no other wish than at the earliest possible moment to obtain upon the subject a decision of tho court of ap poals, and as soon as that dooision was ob tamea to act in accordance wiwi bua jaw as It should be thus proclaimed, xney am what they could to expedite tho suit oi the People versus the North river sugar refining company at eaoh and every stage. In corroboration of thiB statement I appeal with all confidence to the attorney general of the state and to Judge Rogor A. Pryor, who assisted him. They nnr! nnr pounHfil co nniu ated in briharitin about as speedy a disposition of tho case as tho rules and practice oi tno court permitted, jjy arrangement, upon a special motion, it was assigned for hearing and was heard bofore, acoording to tho rules of tho court, it had a right to be upon tha calendar.

As soou as tho decision of tne court of appeals was announced immediate measures wera taken toward reorganiza tion. Tha result was tnat on July 13, iaau, thero was published an agreement for reorgani zation which is hereto annexed. Before this agreement ceuld be arranged there wore required conferences among the trusteos and with the aU torney general and Judge 1'ryor. Tho affidavit further states at length tne diffi culties iu the way of reorganization. As to tho action of tho trustees Mr.

Searles deposes: "The allegation tnat it was not in gouci laitn is pre posterous. The plaintiffs cannot part with the property in their hand without tno consent of i. tneir oeueuuiaries or tue auiiuu uj a court, mo certificate holders are scattered in all parts of the United States and Europe. To have made them partios defendant in name would not only have looked to indefinite delay, but to expensive proceedings. Tho progress of this litigation and such obstructive action as might be taken by defendants would also have been the occasion for a rumor aud reports to be circulated upon Wall street with a view to lnuuencing speculation.

To illustrate the effect of such reports the affidavit quotes the market prices of certificates from Spntomber 8 to October 23. tho naners in the Cameron suit having being served October lo, louu. l.no quotations ot'Kiu at ox unu uiusu at 00. Mr. Searles continues: "From time to time heretofore interested parties havo made use of expected legal proceedings to influence the market.

In every case the trustees have to the extent of their power endeavored to prevent thiB. In every case, in the interest of certificate holders, they have resisted such proceedings, and with the result that when tho Cameron Buit was begun no injunction or other restrictive proceeding was in existonce which could either thwart oi dolay reorganization. With reference to the allegation in the moving papers that there is a purpose by a com biuation of sugar refiners and producers to control the production and sale of sugar in this country, that bears upon the subject which was moBt earnestly and exhaustively disous sed in the People vs. tho North river sugar refilling company. The court of appeals de clinsd to hold that the existing arrangement violated the law in reference to monopoly.

Tho obvious fact is that in all the refinery companies represented by the stock of the refiu ing corporations there is a community of interest in certificate holders. To conform to the law, as the trustees are advised, it is necessary that any plan of reorganization shall merge oxiBting Eroperties in a corporation. So far from there eing any law to tho contrary, we are advised and believe that it has always been held, and that it is iu accordanco with the decision of tho court of appeals in tho case referred to, that various establishments in tho same business may bo combined into one corporation. In every plan ot reorganization every certificate holder will have the right on equal terms to become a party, ir he decliuoH, and no certificate holder who looks only to his own interest will decline, there is for him only one alternative, and that is that ho shall take the value of his interest, to be determined in any suitable way. What is m03t injurious to tho interest of every certificate holder, what has already occasioned a Ioib to certificate holdeiB of mauy millions of dollars, is action like this Cameron suit, the effect of which is to delay organization.

The payment of the October dividend was first discussed at a meeting or the trustoes. held for that purpose ou September 10,1890. At that meeting the question aroBe whether, in the existing situation, and in Yiew of the pending reorganization, the trustees were authorized to declare a dividend. It was the opinion of some of the trustees that there was no such right. All were unwilling to act upon authority which could in anv way bo questioned.

The result was tho passing of the dividend. It was made publio immediately upon the adjournment of the meeting. Tho assertion that there was a socrct that the dividend would pass, aud that persona were in tho secret is utterly without foundation. So far from tha trustees boing interested iu tho deoline, they wore very large losers by it. So far as I am concerned, and as I am informed and believe, no far as concerned tho other trustees, there was no expectation or knowledge, until tho meeting, that the dividend would be passed.

I am informed by Mr. Theodore A. Havemeyer. and believe, that he inado purchases, which ho still holds, down to Soptember 0, 1890, buyiug on the following dates and the following prices: August 2a, 1800, at an average of 78.15; August 30, at 70.53; September 5, 1890, at 80.43; September 6, 1890, at 80.00. I have boen identified With the sugar refining industry for over ten years.

Messrs. Theodore A. Havameyer, F. O. Matthiessen, J.

B. Thomas, and J. A. Stursberg, the reorganization committee, represent the sugar refining industry of the country as extensively, if not more extensively, than any other certificate holders. They can only bo confirmed ai a committee for reorganization by a majority of the certificate holders.

such majority shall prefer others it will ba in then power to make the change, Even if the trustees had the right, it is obvious that upon the application of individual certificate holders to give them information would be a most unwarrantable abuse of their position.

The stateniBiit that I have been interested in short salos aud that I was interested in short sales, enuer uiu ikoui of tliB PBrtificates or any decllno is an unmitigated falsehood. The assertion ia only made by Mr.Canioron upon information and belief. I cannot think that such an unfounded slander can havo been told to him. It is untrue that Mosbi's.

Nash, Spaulding Co. are connected with the business of the so called sugar trust. They are independent holders of certificates and have no connection whatever with the so called trust except as holders of certificates. Neither is it true that the trustees have purchased or hold i inn nnn tnnaof raw sugar. The magni tude of the business requires that there Bhall bo kept for daily use a large quantity of raw sugar.

The trustee, neithor collectively nor individually, hold raw sugar. The only raw sugar on hand is held by the refinery corporations and only such Quantity aa is absolutely needed. In view of the recent tariff lcgUdation the refinery cor nnntinni havo reduced their purchases and di minished their BtockB. The trustees do not believe that any certificate holder, promptod only by his interest as such, can seriously consider the proposal for a receivership. The mere intimation of an intention to ask for it in this aotion haB already caused the Iobs of millions of dollars.

There is no suggestion in tho moving papers of any want of pecuniary re rrimfpnn. There is no sugges tion that the business of sugar refining is not being properly carried on. All charges impugn. ing tho oondnct of tha trustees thoy absolutely and unqualifiedly deny. At tha conclusion of Mr.

Shepard's reading of the affidavits Mr. Hill asked if the papers showed tho names by which the passing of the October dividend referred to was elucidated, but Air. ooM that, tbev did not. Mr. Hill held that from the affidavits the trustees were willing and prepared to maRO a statement oi tne wuoie affair and to tell juat how the trust matters Btooil, and, also, to explain the nature and value of tho property iu their hands.

But for "the injunction whioh Cameron had obtained he waa willing to waive any thiviir in Mim mimiatian whioh related or had any bearing upon the'iobatruotion to the plans for reorganization.

Green Conies Out for Him. RoHndiaz Up the Great Fiffkt In Mew Terk Cily Bay of Banbt ea Both Sides Tammany Hot Ovor Confident or Yictory. Ex Contpoller Andrew H. Greon, of New York, this morning announced that he would support Hugh J. Grant for mayor.

Ho called at the city hall to see Mr. Grant and tell hhn that he was for him, but the mayor waa not in, and did not learn until noon that the famous ooponent of Tweed and tho old Tammany leadors would help him in this, the light of his life. Ex Ooutroller Green is one of the executors of the estate of the late Samuel J. Tilden, and during the lifetime of the great Democratic reformer was his close and valued friend. To an Eagle reporter this morning Mr.

Green said, when aBked if it were true that he was ont for Grant: "Yes; I shall do everything in my power for the present mayor. I consider him an honest and faithful official and a courteous gentleman. 1 called to uco him this morning and expresi to him my feelings toward him." "There is no quostion of tho fact that the Tammany Hall leaders are mora confident of success to day than thoy wero yoiterday, but they are still far from confident," one of the shining lights of the wigwam said to day, and his remarks explain tho situation just as it is. "There are," he said, "more anti Tammany votes in New York than Tsmmany Hall votes, but I do not think our opponents can poll their full vote, it will take 125,000 votes to elect the mayor of New York this year, and I am of the ODinion that Giant will pull through with a majority of 8,000. The anti Tammanyitos are disintegrating.

The people's municipal leaguers are suspicious of thoir Republican allies, and tho County Hall Democrats nro suspicious of both tho former. In this way tho fusion ticket will not, I think, get out a full vote. The attacks made against Mayor Grant in regard to spending too much money for local improvements havo been injudicious. They havo not hurt the mayor, they havo helped him. Labor Leader Keho is working hard for Scott.

He said this morning that Grant was already beaton, and that the prominent chiefs of Tammany hall were alarmed ana anxious over the political situation. Jake Pattison called upon ex Senator Thomas Piatt this morniug and held a long conversation with tho boss. As ho was leaving the United States express company ho remarkod to a friend: "Senator Piatt agrees with mo that Grant will be defeated."
